This STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXPP1B112, is designed for unidirectional knotless soft tissue closure where extended tensile retention and predictable long-term absorption are required. Manufactured from polydioxanone with triclosan antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides refined tensile performance suitable for delicate soft tissue approximation requiring prolonged wound support. The violet monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility, while the unidirectional spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knot tying.

Each suture is supplied as a single 30 cm (12 in) strand per pack, offering extended working length for longer incisions and layered closure techniques. Fitted with a 19 mm PS-2 PRIME MP reverse cutting needle manufactured from ETHALLOY alloy, this configuration supports precise dermal penetration and controlled multipass capability.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus is absorbable via hydrolysis, delivering extended tensile retention with an absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring long-term absorbable antibacterial knotless wound closure.
